What the science says
Panthenol has some evidence of helping the skin barrier hold water and recover from damage, and all five studies that tested it directly found benefit 1. For dehydrated skin, panthenol also has some evidence, with studies reporting higher moisture, less roughness and reduced redness 2. Centella/cica's evidence for redness and irritation is not proven yet, resting on a single study that found less redness than a placebo after laser treatment 3.
